About Me

Henry Kravis cofounded KKR with his cousin, George Roberts, and Jerome Kohlberg (d. 2015) in 1976. Kravis and Roberts gave up their co-CEO titles in 2021; both now serve as executive co-chairs. Kohlberg left the firm in 1987. The duo took KKR public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2010 and converted it into a corporation in 2018. KKR has some more than 250 portfolio companies and more than $650 billion in assets under management, making it one of the five largest private equity firms. Kravis donated $100 million to Columbia University Business School in 2010 and another $25 million in 2015.
